Configure connector properties

To configure the connector, specify system details and user credentials in your CCF, source and target system Properties screens.

The values referenced by the config.xml files are stored in the .properties files located in the same directory.

For CollabNet Enterprise Edition and Quality Center, these files are updated:

ccf.properties contains the properties for the CollabNet Connector Framework's core components.
sfee.properties contains the properties for the CollabNet TeamForge plugin classes.
qc.properties contains the properties for the Quality Center plugin classes.

If your connector scenario involves Project Tracker and Quality Center, the relevant files are ccf.properties, qc.properties and cee.properties

Do the following in the CCF Properties screen.
1. Click Test Connection to test the connection to the central CCF database.
  Note: If the database is local, you will not need to change the default settings. If you have installed CCF on a different server, you need to specify the remote host name and then test the connection settings.
2. Edit the CCF hosts section only if you use JMX monitoring. For JMX monitoring, replace http://localhost in the CCF-specific settings with the qualified hostname of the CCF server.
3. If you need additional information about quarantined artifacts in the log messages, edit the defaults template by adding hospital table columns.
Do the following in the TeamForge Properties screen.
1. Enter the URL of the TeamForge site. For example, http://myforge.mycompany.net.
2. Specify the timezone and maximum size for attachments.
3. Specify the connector username and password.
  Note: This refers to the exclusive connector user in TeamForge, who has the requisite permissions to access (read/write) the tracker involved in the mapping. It is important that no other user be allowed to log into the system with the connector user's username and modify this tracker's artifacts.
4. To use the resynchronization feature of the CCF, supply the Resync user's credentials.
  Note: This account is different from the ordinary connector user account.
Set up similar details for Quality Center in the QC Properties screen.
1. Enter the URL of the Quality Center server. For example, http://1.2.3.4:8080/qcbin.
2. Specify the timezone and maximum size for attachments.
3. Specify the Quality Center username and password.
4. Supply the Resync user's credentials.
